Default Re: Left Foot Braking? WTF?

but you practise and you get better at it - most of us are right handed but we change gear with the left hand. i am no where near ambidextrous but i can brake with both feet and change gear with both hands
it all comes down to practise - whether some wish to practise or not is up to them, but it is very, very easy to learn and it is (in my opinion) much safer. if you see potential danger down the road, you can have your left foot sitting over the brake just in case and still drive normally
